#FelonBae Jeremy Meeks Lands Modeling Contract

Jeremy Meeks, the arrestingly handsome felon who set social media ablaze with his chiseled cheekbones and blue-eyes, has landed himself a modeling agent and a contract. Meeks, who has signed with Blaze Models, is being represented by Gina Rodriguez of GR Media, who claims that she has received death threats since signing Meeks.

“Everybody has a story, and I, of all people, know that,” Rodriguez said. “The types of personalities that I work with are usually the people who are under fire by the media. If this was a different situation, like if someone was actually hurt or there was violence involved, I definitely would not be taking him on. But we don’t know Jeremy’s full story yet, and I don’t feel like he got a fair break. I really don’t. If we can help him in any way with his future and help him turn his life around, that’s what I’m about. That’s what I want to do for him.”
